Patent number: 11699562Abstract: A system may include a power supply that generates a first voltage. The power supply may couple upstream from an electrical load. The electrical load may operate based at least in part on the first voltage. In some cases, a solid-state circuit breaker may be coupled between the power supply and the electrical load. Furthermore, a control system may be communicatively coupled to the power supply, the electrical load, and the solid-state circuit breaker. The control system may receive an operational status from the solid-state circuit breaker and may update a visualization rendered on a graphical user interface based at least in part on the operational status. The operational status may indicate an operation of the solid-state circuit breaker coupling the power supply to the electrical load.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David C. Mazur, Corey A. Peterson, Robert Dilgard, Todd R. Sauve, Peter J. Halpin, Calvin C. Steinweg
